I am not contradicting you.

The duo who previously teamed on The Talisman are developing a drama series based on King’s 2009 novel Under the Dome.

The project, which will be produced by DreamWorks Television, revolves around locals a Maine locale who battle each other when a force field surrounds their town and cuts them off from the remainder of the world.

King will executive produce along with DreamWorks TV’s Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank. No writer is currently attached.

Professor Snape, the Hogwarts potions master and head of Slytherin, was chosen by a fifth of those who took part. In the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, his eyes were described as being "cold and empty and made you think of dark tunnels".

Evil Lord Voldemort took 17th place.

Rowling has said Potter is her personal favourite but conceded: "I believe I am unusual in this - Ron (Weasley) is generally more popular."

Image Entertainment has unleashed the first trailer for "The Double". Around two minutes long, the sneak peek at the upcoming thriller takes its focus on Richard Gere's retired CIA operative character Paul Shepherdson and his hunt for his nemesis, the legendary Soviet assassin Cassius.

Bearing the distinctive trademark of Cassius, a mysterious murder of a U.S. senator forces Shepherdson to team up with rookie FBI agent, Ben Geary, to solve the crime. Having spent his career chasing the assassin, the retired operative is convinced his nemesis is long dead, but is pushed to take on the case by his former supervisor, Tom Highland.

Agent Geary, in the meantime, wrote his Master's thesis on Shepherdson's pursuit of the Soviet killer, and is certain that Cassius has resurfaced. As the two work their way through crimes both past and present, they discover that Cassius may not be the person they always thought him to be, forcing both to re-examine everything and everyone around them.

Archaeologists have located and excavated the ruins of a massive amphitheatre used to train gladiators east of Vienna in what they call a "sensational discovery."

They say that the ruins, located through ground radar measurements, rival the Colosseum and the Ludus Magnus in Rome in their structure. The Ludus Magnus is the largest of the gladiatorial arenas in the Italian capital, while the Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire.

A statement on Tuesday from the Carnuntum archaeological park gave no details when the find was located and excavated.

The park - part of a former Roman settlement - is about 60 kms east of Vienna.

The more you want to contact someone over an instant messenger is inversely proportional to the chances that they will be on-line.

The more important your email is, the worse your email client will screw it up.

The degree to which a device will function is directly proportional to the number of times it has been bashed and inversely to its cost.

A device having an indestructible component or is user serviceable is deemed unsafe until it's replaced by an expensive, unobtainable, inefficient component which needs constant servicing.

A failed 25¢ part cannot be replaced by a new 25¢ part, but by a sub-assembly whose cost is equal to or greater than that of the device in need of the part

The cost and availability of a replacement part are in inverse proportion to the cost of the whole system: a $1500 device will fail because of the burnout of a 25¢ capacitor. But the 25¢ capacitor is either
